It aims to address challenges related to the European arrest warrant, emphasizing the need for a balanced and rights-respecting application, particularly concerning digital and remote justice processes. The project targets judges and prosecutors, intending to improve their understanding and application of mutual recognition instruments as alternatives to traditional measures, thus promoting fundamental rights and efficient judicial cooperation.
